Avocado smoothie recipe is a creamy and healthy breakfast drink ideal for busy weekdays. It contains protein and good fats!
There's nothing like a nutritious breakfast to start the day.
Our Instant Breakfast Avocado Smoothie (Vitamina de Abacate) is a satisfying, quick drink that can be enjoyed at the table or easily carried to school or work.
How to Make Avocado Smoothie
It is made from avocado, Nestlé Carnation Breakfast Essentials® powder, fat-free milk, sugar sub, and chia seeds.
Just blend all the ingredients and enjoy!
My family and I enjoy smoothies both at breakfast and snack time...
...As we had run out of ingredients, I stopped by at my local Walmart to buy my Carnation Breakfast Essentials® powder -- which I found on aisle 16 near the cereal shelf.
This product is an easy way to satisfy morning hunger.
Next, I headed to the produce section to choose ripe yet firm avocados.
Variations
I could not resist picking up some other fruits, such as fresh strawberries that go well with strawberry or vanilla-flavored Carnation Breakfast Essentials® powder, and bananas to pair with the chocolate-flavored.
Yes, breakfast is saved... at least for a few days! 🙂
As we share breakfast, Carnation Breakfast Essentials® will donate $25,000 to Feeding America in order to help those in need. How great that is!
Well, I had barely set foot in the kitchen when both my eight and seven-year-old started getting anxious to have their avocado smoothie.
The great thing is, mommy could whip up a fave in just a few minutes, delivering it ready in a flash! 🙂
Why to Make this Instant Avocado Smoothie Recipe
Getting everything ready to drop off kids at school and/or head to work on time is no easy task...
...but I can say that an instant breakfast such as our avocado smoothie with chia seeds saves time, all while giving our bodies something healthy.
Enjoy our instant breakfast avocado smoothie and have an awesome day!

Anna @ shenANNAgans says
Oh how I long to be sipping summer smoothies. It was minus 8c this morning. WT Fudge is that all about?! LOL. I love the look of your avo shake, very refreshing. I didnt really have too many of the avocado smoothie this past summer, they were rather expensive, so only for a treat. Fingers crossed next summer is better.
Hope you are well lovely lady. Happy hugs from Australia, enjoy your weekend too. 🙂
Denise Browning says
I had no idea avocados were expensive in Australia. Wow! Well, I hope prices get better so people can enjoy much of this great fruit.
Thank you, my dear Anna!!! Sending you hugs and wishes for a marvelous weekend! xx
Little Cooking Tips says
This is a very nutritious recipe Denise!! Perfect for breakfast!! We only have a question. Since we don't have Carnation Breakfast Essentials in Greece, can we replace it by adding vanilla extract in the milk? Will this change the flavor?
Denise Browning says
I see. No worries! You can add a bit of vanilla extract to the milk. You can also decrease a little bit the amount of milk -- just enough to make the smoothie thick since you're not adding carnation to your avocado smoothie. Enjoy!!!
Juliana says
Yes, we used to have avocado smoothie very often when living in Brasil...looks great with chia seeds.
Have a wonderful weekend Denise 🙂

A deliciously satisfying and healthy smoothie, must try it!
Cathleen @ A Taste Of Madness says
I have always wanted to try making an avocado smoothie, but i seem to chicken out at the last second. This looks so good, you might convince me to try again!
Denise Browning says
Hi, Cathleen! I hope you try this. This smoothie has the creaminess of the avocado combined with the great flavor of vanilla Carnation product. My children are not big fans of avocados but they drank this smoothie without any problem because of its vanilla flavor. Actually, they loved it so much that they asked me to make it several times. Give it a try and see what you think.
I know how difficult can be when one is already used to eat avocados in a certain way. Avocado is a fruit and and Brazil we eat it sprinkled with sugar, in smoothies, ice creams, and desserts. When I tried guacamole for the first time here in the US, I hated it. It took me about 2 years to get used to it, but nowadays I love it. I consume avocados in both savory and sweet dishes.
Wishing a delicious and healthy week!
